Abstract

A wafer container has an open front defined by a door frame and a door sized for the door frame. The door receiving frame has slots on opposite sides and the door utilizes latching portions that extend and retract from the edge portion of the door into and out of the slots for latching and unlatching the door on the door receiving frame. The door also has wafer engaging arms which extend inwardly toward the wafers to secure said wafers when the door is in place. The retractable latching portions and wafer retaining arms are linked to a rotatable cammed member in the interior of the door. The cammed member utilizes cammed surfaces configured to first latch the door and to then extend the wafer retaining arms.

The specific embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, chip container 20 comprises container part 22 and the door 24 that matches substantially.Container part has some wafer grooves 28, is used for inserting and shifting out on horizontal surface basically wafer W.Groove is formed by wafer guide plate 32 and wafer support 36.Container part has 42, one osed top 46, one osed top right sides 48,44, one osed top rear portions, left side, 40, one osed top tops, front portion and osed top bottom 50 of an opening.Shown in container be positioned on the equipment dividing range 52.
Door 24 places an installing frame 60 and is attached thereto.Doorframe 60 has two pairs of relative frameworks, a pair of vertical member 64 and a pair of horizontal element 68.Vertical framework has a pair of slit or groove 72,74, is used for door being connected and being locked at container part 22.There is rotatable 80 at the door middle body, have one in the recess 84 in protecgulum 86 manually or from fixed handle 81.Protecgulum 86 is parts of door shell 90, and door shell 90 also comprises plate 96 (this figure is not shown) behind an edge part 94 and.The machanical fastener 98 that protecgulum 86 usefulness are suitable carries out fastening.
Fig. 2 is the transparent view of door 20, and protecgulum 86 parts are removed, and door mechanism 100 shows.The individual component of mechanism comprises 110, one wafer connecting arm 112 (see figure 5)s of a rotatable cam member shown in Fig. 3,4,5 and 6, has tied up 113, one locking arms 118 of bellcrank and a wafer connecting arm actuator link rod 120 above it.
Referring to Fig. 2 and 3, rotatable cam member 110 has a pair of locking arm cam path 114 to form cam face 116.Cam path 114 has relative end 121,138, and the one end has the ratchet 122 that the projection by plastics forms.Ratchet 122 becomes pliable and tough flexible after increasing pawl slot 124.Rotatable cam member 110 comprises that also a pair of relative wafer connects cam path 130, forms wafer and connects cam face 132.In a cam face 132, provide a wafer to connect cam path 134 in addition, and become pliable and tough flexible by a near pawl slot 136 of the end 138 connecting cam path 130 at wafer by stretching out.Rotatable cam member has a medium pore 150, is used for to rotatable cam member 110 location and by axle 152 it being installed on the back plate 96 of door.
Referring to Fig. 2 and 4, comprise a coupling part 160 and a pair of spreadable portion 162 in each locking arm 118, comprise a lock portion 164 in the extensible portion 162, its profile can be inserted in the recess or slit 72,74 in the installing frame 60.The axle that each locking arm has also that a general plane part 168 from arm 118 forms or the cam follower 166 of overshooting shape.
Referring to Fig. 5,7,8, each wafer connecting arm 112 comprises bellcrank 113 and rotary surface 176 of a Waffer edge connecting bridge 170, band connection slot 174.Waffer edge connecting bridge 170 is correspondingly formed by Hytrel.
Referring to Fig. 6, show wafer connecting arm actuator link rod 120 and also have a cam follower 196 and hinge 195.
Locking arm 118 is between rotatable cam member 110 and actuator link rod 120.The size of lock portion makes it stretch and shrink in groove 216 in door edge part 94 slidably.Cam follower 166 stretches in the cam follower groove 118 and further extend in the board slot 200 of back.Loam cake is assembled in and forms door shell 90 on the edge part 94.Relatively limited space is used for stablizing and maintaining body 100 between header board and the back plate.
Element is to connect the following manner stack-mounted.Referring to Fig. 2 and 9, on the back plate 96 of door 4 grooves 186 are arranged, be arranged in the angle of rectangle.Back plate has 4 cylindrical pins 190, be arranged in each groove and with the back plate 96 become one.Sell 190 sizes just in bellcrank 113 scopes, bellcrank 113 can be rotated on pin 190.The groove 174 of bellcrank 113 inserts in the hinge 195 by pin 194 and links together with connecting arm actuator link rod 120.Each actuator link rod 120 has cam follower 196 and 132 engagements of wafer connecting arm cam face, and with back plate 96 on recess or groove 200 engagements.This groove is to form in the projection 202 that stretches upwards the rise of header board from the back plate.Equally also have some rotatable cam member strut bars 210, and rotatable cam member 80 is on strut bar 210 from what back plate 96 stretched upwards.Have projection 212 on this strut bar, help to make plate cam spare 110 to be in place.Use groove 186 among the embodiment of Fig. 7, rather than the groove of the general square shape shown in Fig. 2.In addition, pin 190 is positioned at the middle position of groove 186, and the groove side face is different with being positioned among Fig. 2.
Device is operation as follows.Referring to Fig. 2 and a series of accompanying drawings, at first door is placed in the door installing frame 60 in the container part 22 by manual or automated manner from Figure 10 A, 10B to Figure 14 A, 14B.Rotatable cam member anticlockwise direction rotation in the embodiment of Fig. 2, the engagement between locking arm overhead cam push rod 166 and the rotatable cam member overhead cam surface 116 makes locking arm can outwards stretch slidably owing to the special shape of above-mentioned cam path 114.When locking arm 118 outwards stretched, locking member 164 passed in the groove 216 access door installing frames 60 in the groove 72,74 on the vertical framework.Specifically referring to Figure 11 A.This moment, the wafer connecting arm did not stretch.The further rotation of Figure 12 A cam wafer part does not make locking arm 118 be moved further, but the cam follower 196 on the wafer connecting arm actuator link rod 120 is outwards moved, thereby rotate bellcrank 113, the cross motion of actuator link rod 120 is converted into the outside motion of wafer connecting arm 112 towards wafer.Figure 12 B shows the wafer connecting arm and is in terminal position and is positioned at the wafer connection location with respect to door shell.After the cam member conter clockwise rotated 90 ° fully, cam follower 196 and 166 crossed thorny 134 and 122, thereby cam member is locked in position shown in Figure 12 A and the 12B.For opening and move above-mentioned door, clockwise rotate cam member, at first enter position shown in Figure 13 A and the 13B, at this moment wafer connecting arm 112 shrinks from wafer, enter the close position shown in Figure 13 A and the 13B then, this moment, locking arm 118 was also got back the groove from the door installing frame.
Figure 15 shows another embodiment of the present invention, the device that wherein is used for stretching and shrink the device of locking member and be used for mobile wafer attaching parts between close position and terminal position comprises link rod 212 and joint 213, rather than cam face and cam follower.In such layout, rotatable 110 can be by link rod 212 shown in the label of representing with dotted line among the figure 216 the centering locking position at locked position.In the particular topology shown in the figure, rotate approximately 1/8 the time when rotatable 110, locking arm and wafer connecting arm obtain to activate fully.Arrow 219 is expressed the locking arm 118 of full extension and the rotation direction of wafer connecting arm 112 (not shown)s.
Each parts of door mechanism 100 can suitably be made by the carbon fiber polycarbonate, so that stable dissipation characteristic to be provided.The header board of door and back plate can be made by polycarbonate.
